A barefoot Westley used his toy trowel to indicate three pumpkins growing next to the path. Behind him were tomatoes in cages and to his right were the hoses of a drip irrigation system.

Terry led her grandson along the path through her garden. In the foreground was a trellis with a single-bell wind chime hanging from it. That simple chime produced more dings than any of the other wind chimes.

Backed by his grandmother, Westley admired the pumpkins growing in the garden. Dressed in just a diaper, and armed with a toy trowel, Westley was ready for another excessively hot day. It reached 104 Fahrenheit by late afternoon.

The garden was outlined in stone, with raised bed planters (easier on the back) and two arbors all constructed from cedar.

A single but massive rhubarb plant shared a box with a large wandering pumpkin plant. Notice how this box (as were all the boxes) rigged with drip irrigation.

A path constructed first by digging a deep trench, then lining it with no-grow material. A layer of rocks for drainage and a thick layer of sand on top of that. The stones were set into the sand and surrounded by red mulch.

The largest tomato plant was loaded with large tomatoes. Only two of those tomatoes were ripe enough to pick. The others were expected to ripen over the next few weeks.

One of nine pumpkins was hidden in grass and slowly turning from green into orange. The pumpkins from this single plant will become Halloween decor and pumpkin pie after that.

Sun flowers first appeared and looked like odd weeds. As the season past they grew large and opened into these dramatic flowers. This particular sun flower was over two meters (six feet) tall.
